See, now this is a role that I think they should have a casting call for. Plenty of famous actors all doing their impressions of Tommy Wiseau. And then have their audition tapes be a special feature on the DVD.

That was speculation on their part. We know James is IN the movie, but we don't know for sure which role he'll play.

Quote from: The A.V. Club

there is no word yet on casting. Prediction: After a worldwide search for an actor that can believably portray total confidence, inestimable cluelessness, and vague foreignness, Franco will grudgingly settle on himself in the lead role.
